Viking House

I have recently finished my first Viking house. I used a technique from one of the many miniature bloggers. I tried using cereal box cardboard to mount craft popsicle sticks but found this is too flexible. I am now building a great hall using the sticks again but mounted on corrugated cardboard. I used the teddy bear fur technique for the roof and I like how it came out. I first painted PVA glue on the fur to get it in the right shape. I then spray painted the whole thing a dark brown and followed up by dry brushing to layers of lighter brown. Let me know what you think.

I wonder if the "Teddy bear fur technique" will end up as popular a phrase as say "dry brushing" or "blacklining" ? :-DLooks good...as Paul has said the overhang looks a bit big but you could put a woodpile or stores under it. Cheerspaul
